HERE'S A PUMP THAT'S BEEN MOVED AROUND A BIT, HAVING FOUR DIFFERENT OWNERS OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS. HERE IT IS IN 1999 BEFORE I PURCHASED IT FOR $200 IN SPEONK, L.I.  I HAD IT FOR A FEW YEARS. IT WAS ALWAYS PARKED SOMEPLACE OVER AT MY SISTERS GARAGE OR OVER BY MY '48 INT'L DURING THE WINTER OF 2001 IN JAMESPORT, L.I.  THEN IN 2003, A LOCAL GUY OFFERED $500 FOR IT AND I LET IT GO THEN RESIDING IN AQUEBOGUE, L.I. THE NEXT TOWN OVER.  THEN LAST YEAR HE SOLD IT TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP SEVERAL TOWNS AWAY IN CUTCHOGUE THAT GAVE IT A NICE RESTORATION TREATMENT TO THE ESSO BRAND SINCE THE SHOP WAS ONCE AN ESSO STATION! I'VE EVEN SOLD A COUPLE OF PUMPS TO RICH AS WELL WHICH ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING "DONE!"   THOUGHT THIS WOULD MAKE A COOL STORY.  THANKS!

I like the duck sign! I don't care for eating duck, we had some here on the farm, damn coyotes got them. Still have a few wild ones stay the summer. Thanks for sharing! tt

IT'S FUNNY, THE DUCK SIGN ENDED UP AT GUYS PLACE TWO TOWNS OVER FROM ME. SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF TWO THAT STILL EXIST. I ALSO BOUGHT A 6' MOBILGAS MARINE SHIELD WHEN I BOUGHT THE PUMP. I STILL HAVE IT....  FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE 3RD GUY SOLD IT FOR $400 TO THE BODY SHOP LOSING A $100 ON THE SALE FROM ME.

He might have got $300 worth of Enjoyment & Memories while it was his! That's something $100 can't buy.
